More detailed introduction
Protein kinase C is the target for the tumour-promoting phorbol esters, such as tetradecanoyl-β-phorbol acetate (TPA, also known as phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate).
Classical protein kinase C isoforms: PKCα, PKCβ, and PKCγ are activated by Ca2+ and diacylglycerol, and may be inhibited by GF109203X, calphostin C, Gö 6983, chelerythrine and Ro31-8220.
Novel protein kinase C isoforms: PKCδ, PKCε, PKCη, PKCθ and PKCμ are activated by diacylglycerol and may be inhibited by calphostin C, Gö 6983 and chelerythrine.
Atypical protein kinase C isoforms:PKCι, PKCζ.
